Looking over my notes from yesterday’s hearing, my count shows that 71 people testified against the Administration’s bill, 58 testified in favor of it, and about five or so weren’t quite clear about their views on this bill. That’s 55% against, and 45% in favor.

Does that sound wrong to you? Well, reading Sewell Chan’s liveblog from yesterday gets basically the same breakdown. Based on his reporting, 74 testified against the Administration’s bill, 62 spoke in favor, and three weren’t quite clear. That’s 54% against and 46% in favor – slightly more in favor than by my apparently-imperfect count.

Since I did the math, I thought I’d save you the effort of duplicating the work…
